WHY: Reimbursement rates for DXA bone density tests in physicians’ offices have declined from $140 in 2006, to only $40.70 in 2019.

    About Us

    Alcohol express began as a straightforward text message between friends asking alcohol delivery, “Why can’t you have booze delivered?” So, with a bit of luck and a lot of grit, we set out to create a three-tier compliant technology company that would revolutionize how we buy beer, wine, and spirits after realizing that alcohol delivery was, in fact, legal.
