How to get my ECG data?

1•fraserphysics•6h ago
I wore a heart monitor for a month and want the data. I've called and exchanged email with "Bio Telemetry, a Phillips company", and all I've received is a stack of paper with a "Daily Patient Report" for each day. (Well I've also received a statement from BCBS saying that they won't pay Bio Telemetry $9,000). My first/primary question to HN is:

Do you have advice on how to get the actual data?

My second question for non-US readers:

Does $9,000 seem excessive?

Background: For 10 minutes in April I was seeing double. Fearing that it was a transient ischemic attack, MDs ordered lots of tests. The heart monitor was to check for arrhythmias that could cause a clot. I was surprised that the study found ventricular tachycardia; see: https://www.fraserphysics.com/page2_ecg_report.pdf

Coincidentally, I have been thinking about ECGs and have written code for analyzing them; see Section 6.3.1 of my book at https://www.fraserphysics.com/book.pdf. My third question is for anyone who knows about ECG analysis technology:

Is the analysis technique I describe in Section 6.3.1 interesting/novel?

PS. None of the test results are very disturbing. I believe that my event was related to the migraines that I have all too often.
