Wiki Annual wellness visit for Medicare part B and all other Medicare advantage plans? 365 days versus 12 months?

[ngenschaw]

Hi all. I am understanding that Medicare Part B will cover an AWV any day of the month as long it was done the year before. Ex. AWV June 13, 2021, then June 1, 2022. I am not finding any clear guidelines for any of the advantage plans or medicare.

Thanks

For Medicare, the Benefit Policy Manual states that it is a 12 month period (as opposed to 365 day period): https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/Downloads/bp102c15.pdf
