What Apollo Wellness does

Apollo Wellness is a private, non-equity-backed healthcare clinic headquartered at 6511 W Loop 1604 N, Ste. 105, San Antonio, Texas, operating as an affiliate of CommuniCare Health Centers, a federally qualified health center. Founded in 2023, the clinic specializes in HIV prevention (PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP), HIV testing and treatment, STI testing and treatment, and LGBTQ+-competent adult primary care, with two physical clinic locations in San Antonio and San Marcos and a telehealth channel. The patient base spans LGBTQ+ adults and allies, HIV-at-risk adults, adults seeking primary care with sensitivity to LGBTQ+ needs, and people living with HIV, all served within a culturally competent, stigma-free care model.

The clinic's technology stack is built around a third-party Healow (eClinicalWorks) HIPAA-compliant patient portal under a shared practice code (CADJCD) with CommuniCare, enabling online appointment scheduling, health record access, lab results, prescription refill requests, secure messaging with the care team, online bill pay, and pre-appointment check-in. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or developed-in-house software is disclosed. Clinical delivery is supported by two named providers (Bridget Y. Thackeray, DO and Rosemary Casimier, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC), a Practice Manager, a Community Engagement Specialist, and medical assistants across approximately seven employees.

Apollo Wellness generates revenue through fee-for-service healthcare visits billed to a broad panel of accepted insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana, Community First Health Plans, Oscar, MultiPlan, TriCare West Region, Ambetter, Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, and Medicaid programs. The clinic has begun introducing concierge-style health plans alongside traditional insurance billing. The go-to-market motion combines appointment-based direct care with community-led acquisition via a dedicated Community Engagement Specialist, multi-channel social presence (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), SEO, and word-of-mouth referrals within the LGBTQ+ and sexual health communities. Apollo Wellness holds HHS funding status and Federal Public Health Service deemed status with respect to certain health-related claims, including medical malpractice coverage.
