1. “Under the clear language of the statute, we find that the filing of a claim with the medical review panel suspends prescription with regard to non-named solidary obligors to the same extent that it is suspended for those named in the request by the panel. There are two different periods of suspension provided for in La.R.S. 40:1299.47(A)(2)(a) of the Private Act. The first being ninety days following notification of the opinion of the medical review panel for qualified health care providers under the private act, and the second being sixty days following notification that the health care provider is not covered by the Private Act. In the instant case, prescription against the named defendant, Dr. Zev Nash, a qualified health care provider, was suspended until ninety days following notification of the medical review panel's opinion, which was rendered on March 25, 1996. Notification of the panel's decision was not received by Baum until April 25, 1996. Plaintiff's original petition for damages against Dr. Zev David Nash was filed on May 16, 1996, and a First Supplemental and Amending Petition for Damages adding Northwestern State University on June 10, 1996. Accordingly, plaintiff's claim against Northwestern did not prescribe as plaintiff had ninety days from April 25, 1996, to file suit against non-named solidary obligors.”
