What does "once every 12 months" mean?
Is there a universally agreed upon meaning for "once every 12 months"?
If I do X on November 15, 2011 and again do X again in November 2012,
on what dates in November 2012 may I do X without violating the
"no more than once every 12 months" rule?
If I do X on November 15, 2011 and again do X again in November 2012,
on what dates in November 2012 may I do X without violating the
"no more than once every 12 months" rule?

This is a Medicare rule in the US. They apparently avoided using "once every 365 days" on purpose which, if it had been used, would mean if you did X on Nov 15, 2011, you could not do it earlier than Nov 15, the next year. Instead they worded the rule "once every 12 months" and apparently mean you could do it anytime in

That's a good question. Medicare pays for an "annual wellness visit" to my care provider once every 12 months. I had a visit on 11/5/2018. Next year I had a visit on 11/23/2019 and Medicare would not pay because the interval needed to be 12 full months.
