What Chrysalis does

Chrysalis is a private, founder-owned provider of intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) and autism services operating across Utah and Nevada under two LLC entities (Chrysalis Utah LLC and Chrysalis Nevada LLC). Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Provo, Utah, the company delivers a continuum of care that includes early intervention Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy through its Chrysalis Connects sub-brand, supported living, day services and vocational training, and two 24-hour residential models — shared homes (3–4 individuals per community home) and host-home/professional parent placements. A specialized clinical layer of Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Registered Behavior Technicians supports all programs, and an in-house medical team coordinates appointments and pharmacy services for residential clients. Following the 2012 launch of Chrysalis Connects at Medicaid's request (and participation in Utah's first Autism Pilot Program) and the 2012 founding of sister company Meridian Meds LLC — a specialty pharmacy using robotic strip-pack packaging with multi-step pharmacist verification — the company has built an integrated IDD services platform addressing behavioral, residential, medical, and financial-management needs.

The company's operations are anchored by Fusion, a proprietary case management platform built on Salesforce that consolidates daily goal tracking, monthly progress reporting, behavioral records, and medical appointments for every client. A second proprietary system automates subsidy and Rep Payee workflows, including paystub monitoring, asset-limit checks, utility tracking, and financial reporting for Social Security, Medicaid, and housing programs. These internal tools, combined with standard integrations to Paylocity (HR/payroll) and Microsoft Outlook for staff, are used to coordinate care across a footprint of more than a dozen Area Director offices covering every major population center in Utah and Nevada. Chrysalis Connects operates center-based ABA clinics in Lehi and Riverdale, Utah, in addition to in-home service delivery, serving commercially insured children and adolescents with autism.

Chrysalis generates revenue through two primary channels: government-funded disability services paid via state Medicaid waivers and Social Security benefits administered on behalf of clients (coordinated through Utah DSPD and Nevada ADSD Regional Centers), and insurance-covered ABA therapy billed through commercial health plans. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company bundles Rep Payee, subsidy management, and financial oversight into its 24-hour residential fees at no additional charge. The operating model relies on state agency referrals and a community-led go-to-market motion supported by an organic social and video presence on the corporate website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and no acquisition or funding history in the source material.

Revenue model

1. Government-Funded Disability Services: Chrysalis receives funding through state Medicaid programs and Social Security benefits administered on behalf of individuals. Services are coordinated through state agencies (DSPD in Utah, ADSD Regional Centers in Nevada) that determine eligibility and allocate funding for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
2. Insurance-Covered ABA Therapy: Autism services (ABA therapy) are covered through health insurance networks. Chrysalis networks with various health insurance companies and works with the Eligibility Team to determine coverage benefits for ABA services.
