I am a stay-at-home mom, I am married, and we have 5 children. After I complete
Insurance Billing and Coding and get my diploma, I’m hoping to be able to start working
towards my associate in medical Billing and Coding. I’m hoping to be working out of my
home or in a small doctor’s office doing Billing and Coding.
I used to work as a CNA before I got the opportunity to be a stay-home-mom and now
that my kids are all going to be in school soon, I wanted to further my education. But I
wanted to do something that I could still work out of my home if I wanted to.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations is generally 2 years, but there are some exceptions
to the statute that may extend the filing deadline. A couple of exceptions to the 2 years
of limitations for medical malpractice claims in Missouri are medical malpractice
involving minors, the minor under the age of 18 when the malpractice occurred has until
their 20
th
birthday to bring a malpractice claim, regardless of when it happens. Another
exception is medical malpractice that results in a “foreign object” being left in a person’s
body in most cases the 2-year statute of limitations begins on the date of discovery of
the mistake or from the date the patient should have discovered the mistake.
