It’s that time of year to look at the year that was – in HME News stories.
As we were putting together the finishing touches on this January issue, I pulled the 10 most read stories for 2023.
I was pleased as punch to see a story we published about Miller’s opening its fifth location in Ohio was the No. 1 most read story of the year by a long shot. In a year when the CPAP recall, supply chain challenges and increased costs weighed heavily on the industry, I’m...
It’s been a year

It’s always around this time of year – it’s early October as I write this – that I start itching to find out what have been the most read stories of the year on the HME News website.
For normal people, fall signifies all things pumpkin – pumpkin bread, yes; Pumpkinhead beer, no, if you’re asking – but not for me.
What have you all been reading? When the year is three-quarters through, that’s what I want to know.
Before I even...

It being July (how did that happen—very quickly and very slowly at the same time), I logged into Google Analytics to find the most read stories for the first half of the year.
Not surprisingly, all but one of the five most read stories are related to the coronavirus pandemic (see list with links below).
Let's start with that one story that's not related to the pandemic: “'Wiser' CMS executes new order” (No. 2). It was a big deal when CMS decided to replace...
Bidding on the brain

Fall always makes me think of the end of the year, and the end of the year always makes me wonder about the most read stories of the year.
I just pulled that data for Jan. 1, 2018, through today, Sept. 25, 2018, which represents roughly three-quarters of the year, and the top 10 most read stories are listed below.
As you can see, the list is dominated by competitive bidding news, and it has been a roller coaster year for the program. We wrote about—and you read about in earnest—everything...
Year in review: The next front materializes, and the impact piles up
November 29, 2017HME News Staff
Here's a look at the most read stories for 2017. I know there are still 32 days left in 2017 (who's counting), but I couldn't help myself (and I needed a blog topic).
The No. 1 most read story surprises me—and it doesn't. It surprises me because it's not competitive bidding related. On the face, it's even what we call a “state story,” meaning it doesn't even apply to every provider everywhere. But it doesn't surprise me, because it's representative of the increasing influence of...
