Apollo Health Group

One Simple Goal

Improve the patient's quality of life. With genetics being at the forefront of healthcare, we are dedicated in helping providers understand more about their patients, and patients learn more about themselves.

Patient Satisfaction

We've helped many individuals receive genetic screenings through our owned and operated CLIA Certified and CAP Accredited Lab. It is our promise that we only offer the highest standard of quality, accuracy and consistency with our work.

Our Service

We specialize in genetic screening, include test such as cancer genetic screening (CGX) and pharmacogenetics screening (PGX).

Peace of Mind

“It gave me an absolute piece of mind because we have certain cancers in our family that several people have. Cervical, breast, and especially colon [cancers] are my top concerns for me and my daughter. So, when this test was able to test for all of those things and knock all out as negative it helps me mentally big time for both myself and my daughter as well.”

- Valerie W.

Fight Cancer

“This is an important tool to fight cancer! I wish this test was available when my parents were alive because I have had two different types of cancer and to be able to obtain some genetic information has stabilized what I was aware of genetically. This information will be invaluable for my daughter and grandchildren!”

-Mary S.

Preventative Care

"No doubt about it this is an important preventative care tool, my wife was supposed to have her routine colonoscopy but we postponed it for 6 months and by that time her colon cancer had metastasized. If she would’ve taken this test sooner, she would have known she needed to be tested more frequently and more often, it would have saved her life. My own test is helping me to realize how important testing is. Another bonus is that now my kids know that they have a genetic risk [for cancer] from both of their bloodlines and that for them preventative care is a necessity .”

Apollo owns and operates a CAP and CLIA certified laboratory located on the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The lab specializes in next generation DNA genetic testing such as hereditary Cancer Genetic Screenings (CGX) and Pharmacogenetics Genetic Screening (PGX). These tests can help determine whether a person is at risk for life-threatening side effects or disease. This lab is one of only a few CAP and CLIA certified labs with next generation sequencing technology capabilities in the country and is licensed in 48 states.

One of Apollo's core values is to ensure the candidates' primary care physician is always involved in the request for our genetic lab services. There are two ways that we can develop that relationship with the physician, both of which are inter-related.

Potential candidates come to us requesting to learn more about genetic screening and its benefits. In order to qualify a candidate, we ask a series of questions that incorporate their family and personal history of cancer, as well as insurance coverage. If qualified, and has confirmed interest in Apollo’s services, we will ask for the the candidate's primary care physician information. Apollo will reach out to their physician to make them aware that their patient is interested in the lab service. We will also provide the necessary paperwork for the physician to approve the tests. Once the tests are completed, a copy of the results will be sent to the physician to review with their patient.

A team of experienced full-time employees can visit doctor offices and clinics around the country at any location to provide these healthcare facilities with information regarding Apollo Genetics’ services. They can leave materials for the healthcare facilities employees to distribute or leave in waiting rooms. If a patient shows interest and it is recommended by the physician to move forward with the screening, our employees can assist in ensuring the correct steps are taken and collection samples are properly completed before sending to the lab for processing.

Apollo currently has a Medicare number and in addition, is actively contracting with various state Medicaid programs and Medicare Advantage plans. Some commercial out of network plans are also accepted.

Apollo works with partner labs who do not have the capabilities to perform DNA genetic tests. These partner labs will reference out screenings such as CGX and PGX to the Apollo Lab Group.

As an independent lab, CAP Accredited and CLIA certified, Apollo Genetics is proud to be a reference lab that is capable of performing many types of genetic testing for other laboratories. Apollo will not only perform these tests, but will prepare the necessary reports with the results of the test. Apollo is not directly involved in any consulting nor discussion of possible or potential treatment options with the consumer. However, Apollo can provide an independent genetic counselor if needed.
