(d) The institute shall, in consultation with the council, investigate the benefits, cost savings, and feasibility of creating a statewide single biller system in which all administrative procedures including, but not limited to, billing, data entry, and scheduling for all consumers, healthcare providers, and insurers shall be coordinated through one regional entity that would handle all paperwork relating to healthcare for patients.  The institute may create a single biller pilot project for a regional administration center for the northern berkshire region’s health care industry including the city of North Adams and the towns of Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, Savoy and Williamstown.
