Many times a claim will overlap a GHO period because it was open at the time of billing, but was subsequently closed by the time the provider researches the reason for rejection. The best way to avoid this reason code is to verify the beneficiary has traditional Medicare right before submitting the claim.his website provides information and news about the Medicare program for health care professionals only. All communication and issues regarding your Medicare benefits are handled directly by Medicare and not through this website.
In the Altamont Pass in California, for example, one study found about 4,000 wind turbines killed 67 golden eagles and 1,127 birds of prey in a year. In southern Spain, 252 wind turbines located in an area used by many birds of prey and on the migratory path of many large birds killed a 124 birds of prey in a year. At another location in southern Spain 256 turbines killed 30 griffin vultures and 12 common kestrels.
To the hub, the turbines are 229 ft. tall with 136 foot blades, meaning the height from the base to the tip the blade is 365 ft. The bases of the turbines are 11-16 feet in diameter and the foundations, which run 30 ft, into the ground, are 15.6 ft across. Each wind turbine weighs roughly 1450 tons. How do they work? Wind Turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. How fast do the blades turn? At the optimum wind speed of 25-35 mph, the blades will rotate at 14 rpm. That gives them a speed of 105 mph at the tip. How much electricity do they produce? Each turbine produces about 2,000,000 kilowatt hours (kwh) per year, enough energy to power as many as 500 typical homes at 12,000 kwh per year. How strong do the winds have to blow for the blades to rotate? Wind turbines start operating at wind speeds of around 8 mph and reach a maximum power output at around 33 mph. When there is not enough wind to turn the blades, or when there is too much wind the turbines shut down.
