OPINION
BAKER, Judge.
Plaintiffs-appellants Jerry and Wilma Mayfield appeal the grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee Continental Rehabilitation Hospital of Terre Haute (Hospital). Specifically, the Mayfields contend that the Journey Account Statute permitted them to file their medical malpractice action despite their failure to file a proposed complaint with the Department of Insurance within the statute of limitations. In the alternative, they contend that the statute of limitations prescribed by the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act is unconstitutional.
