1. An implantable medical device (IMD) including:
- a near field telemetry module;
a far field telemetry module; and
a processor in electrical communication with the near field telemetry module and the far field telemetry module, wherein the processor is configured to;
establish, in relation to a communication signal received by the near field telemetry module, a time period during which communication via the far field telemetry module is available;
authenticate a far field communication session using the far field telemetry module; and
communicate using the far field telemetry module upon authentication of the communication session.
