Equipment at home

I have been wondering once you are done with checkups and adjustments from the doctor and you have to be monitored from home for the pacemaker and call it in on a monthly basis do you have special equipment for that or just your regular landline phone goes up against the pacemaker? I have a dual chamber pacemaker if that makes any difference. And is it the doctors office that supplies you with the nessary equipment? Thanks-denmna70

The pacer company will have a small little transmitter that you set up to your land line phone and they instruct you along with your clinic on transmitting data, You also need to be aware that most doctors office still charge for a device check when transmitting from home so you will want to check with your insurance to make sure that they will cover, in my case the insurance company would not cover the charges.
