I had a loop recorder installed in 2019. It was a mistake from my perspective. As noted by Sagan, this is not real time monitoring. The only feedback I got was the monthly bill to my insurance company. I discontinued the monitoring after six months but still have the transponder in my chest. I also note that it was a challenge to get my insurance (Florida Blue) to pay for the device and for the monitoring. As for Holter monitoring, I recently did two 1 week sessions to help quantify PACs and PVSs. I think this was helpful in that it showed that my % of these events was small. Again there were insurance issues. One monitoring period was paid and the second denied as "medically unnecessary". The unpaid Mayo charge for six days monitoring was $5300. I am appealing. Moral of the story, best to check with your insurer before starting.
