I was in an accident in 2016, medical bills pilled up into 2017, and now in collections for over 3000 is there any way that matters for deductions ?

Only the medical bills that you actually paid can be entered into the medical expense section of your tax return. If you have only paid $50, it will not affect anything on your tax return.
