Gary Wistrom appeals a summary judgment dismissing his claims for wrongful disclosure of medical records against Employers Insurance of Wausau and its employee, Margery Derby. We conclude that, under Wis. Stat. sec. 102.13(2)(a), an employee waives the physician-patient privilege with regard to any condition reasonably related to the condition for which the employee claims worker’s compensation.

We affirm the summary judgment.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Marathon County, Howard, J., Per Curiam

Attorneys:

For Appellant: James K. Kurth, Wausau

For Respondent: Timothy J. Muldowney, Madison; Todd G. Smith, Madison
