HI Stacie,
We have had trouble with our MICRA VR patients not being able to use the manual carelink, so we schedule them for every 6 months after the first 2 visits at 3 months.
We have had better success with our SICD patients. For those that are compliant with the weekly checks and the 91 day summaries: we see annually. IF they cannot use the remotes we see them every 6 months.
I am very interested to see if others have the same obstacles.
