The exact timeframe between AWV is a little confusing. Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) are covered by Medicare at 12-month intervals. This means that 11 full calendar months must pass after the month in which a beneficiary had received an AWV.
For example, if AWV was performed on Jan 31, 2016 the patient is eligible to AWV starting from Jan 1, 2017
The exact day of the month doesn’t matter. AWV could have been done on Jan 1 or Jan 31 (or any other day of January) and the patient will be eligible for new AWV starting from January 1 next year.
