My monitor interrogates and reports to the doctor quarterly.  I go into my EP once a year.

I see my EP once  year, my cardiologist quarterly, and the device tech every six months (really, at the beginning and end of daylight saving time). I'm supposed to use the remote monitor between device clinic appointments but never get around to it.

Everybody is different.  I send a transmission weekly and see my EP every 4-6 weeks.  Every now and then I'll get a text from Medtronic telling me a transmission was received, which would have been initiated from my EP.  

You know you're wired when...

You have a 25 year mortgage on your device.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
