My credit score tanked 40 points after a medical bill went to collections in Dallas

Last month, I got a letter from a collection agency for a $250 ER copay I totally forgot about. It was from a visit in Dallas three years ago. I paid it off the same day I got the letter, but my FICO score still dropped from 720 to 680. I thought paying it would fix things faster. Has anyone had luck getting a paid medical collection removed from their report?

Honestly I fixed mine by disputing three old accounts on Experian last year.
