STAT. § 146.82, which prohibits the release of patient health care records except in specific circumstances enumerated in the statute. Wall also asserts Gundersen violated WIS. STAT. § 146.83(4)(b) by improperly concealing or withholding patient health care records. The circuit court concluded Wall’s complaint failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted. We agree and affirm.
