The following description was taken from this source.MAESTRA is a three dimensional model of forest canopy radiation absorption, photosynthesis, and transpiration.adiation penetration to each grid point is calculated for three wavebands (i.e. PAR, near infrared and thermal radiation), including consideration of direct, diffuse and scattered radiation. Photosynthesis and transpiration at each grid point are calculated from the absorbed radiation.
Additionally, effective January 1, 2009, the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) removed the screening EKG as a mandatory service of the initial preventive physical exam (IPPE). The MIPPA, however, does require that there be education, counseling, and a referral for an EKG, as appropriate.
If you're a hospital inpatient, blood is covered under Medicare Part A. In general, you wouldn't be responsible for the cost of blood when the hospital gets it from a blood bank at no charge. If the hospital has to buy the blood, then you would pay the costs for the first 3 pints. If you're an outpatient, blood is covered under Medicare Part B. Similar to&nbsp;blood coverage under Part A, if your provider gets the blood from a blood bank at no charge, you would not be responsible for the cost of blood. However, you may be subject to a copayment for the services provided regarding the blood.
