REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 1, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Model N, Inc. (NYSE: MODN), the leading revenue management provider to the life sciences and technology industries, today announced the expansion of the Model N Regulatory Update Program -- a program that every Model N Government Compliance customer is automatically enrolled in at no extra charge.

On June 18, CMS announced changes of new fields and features in the Drug Data Reporting for the Medicaid (DDR) system, which will be effective starting July 19 and will impact most manufacturer's June and Q2 2014 filings due by July 30th. Next on the horizon, the AMP Final Rule will significantly affect manufacturers contracting with the government. The Model N Regulatory Update Program addresses both of these issues.

Over 60 percent of pharmaceutical executives perceive regulatory and legislative issues to be the "most significant barrier to their company's growth," according to a study conducted by KPMG that surveyed 107 senior pharmaceutical executives, with 45 percent of respondents working at companies with annual revenues over $10 billion.

Regulatory change introduces complexity and organizational plus reputational risk, where one wrong price calculation can cost you millions of dollars in leaked revenue and enormous fines.

The Model N Regulatory Update Program was created to engage customers to rapidly identify, develop, test and deliver solutions required by major regulatory changes. Model N gathers input on additional tools and solutions manufacturers need to respond to changes, and provides customers with timely and robust resources, events and information.

Key Components and Benefits:
