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.
1 Patients with medical insurance that covers a portion of the cost of the EKG, can expect to pay $30-$100 in copays for both the test and the analysis of the test.2  For example, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, which serves patients in Massachusetts, charges its members $32-$54 for an EKG and interpreting the results. Health insurance may cover some or all of the cost of the EKG. 2  Generally, insurance will cover 80%-100% of EKG testing. 3  Contact an insurance provider for coverage specifics. 4  Some school athletic programs give student athletes EKGs to test heart health.
