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.

Therefore 365 days would not need to elapse between visits, provided that 11 full months had passed since the last visit.
