Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients followed by the VA National Cardiac Device Surveillance Program for CIED remote monitoring care with a wireless-capable CIED (i.e., does not require manual transmission).
* CIEDs: pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and implantable loop recorders
* Patients had a remote monitoring transmission received by VA National Cardiac Device Surveillance Program within past 100 days (representing standard 90-day interval plus additional 10-day buffer in case of travel)
* Data from Abbott merlin.net, Biotronik Home Monitoring, Medtronic Carelink, or Boston Scientific Latitude indicating patient disconnected from remote monitoring for ≥16 days but ≤40 days
Exclusion Criteria:
* Address outside of United States or Puerto Rico
* Previously included in the present RCT or a complementary RCT (VANCDSP Disconnected CIED). Once a patient reconnects but then becomes disconnected again, cannot be included again
