What is the statute of limitations for a claim against Kaiser?
Although Kaiser cannot be sued, the very same limitations period applies against Kaiser as would apply against any other health care provider in California. The statute of limitations for a Kaiser claim is contained in California Code of Civil Procedure §340.5. In relevant part, that statute requires that an injured person take action within one year of discovering a medically-caused injury and to demand arbitration, or extend the statute of limitations by sending a notice of intent to sue (sometimes referred to as “90 day letters”) under California Code of Civil Procedure §364.
