To get an attorney, seek a settlement or, in the alternative suffer a judgment and ask the judge to order installment payments.

Dispute the bill and wait to see the next step by the collection. You can always contest the reasonableness of charges based on Medicare payment guidelines.

You can direct them in writing not to contact you. At that point, they can sue you or they can go away: those are the two choices.

Hire a lawyer to negotiate with them and to make sure they are acting within the law. That will at least stop the calls.
