“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane ate well this noon, though. At 2:30 I cleaned our glasses and called billing. Andrew was out but the girl would have him call back. We watched In Search Of, and I read to Jane the short newspaper article about the death of Newell Mullin, who is Sue Watkins’ father. She started to read yesterday’s session when Andrew Fife called at 3:12.

(This morning at about 11:15 I got a call from a girl in the billing department at the hospital. She told me that Blue Cross has turned down the major medical claim for Jane, to their surprise. I was surprised and not surprised, mostly not, I guess. The girl sounded embarrassed to tell me the news. I said I’d see Andrew Fife after 2:30 this afternoon. The girl said something about Jane and “skilled nursing care,” but I didn’t really understand her, and let that go. At once I thought of an appeal through Pete Harpending, of course, and a possible lawsuit.

(Andrew Fife said Blue Cross wouldn’t want the publicity of a suit in a case like ours, but I said they must go through this all the time. “You sound like me,” he said. My news upon returning to 330 didn’t help Jane any, but I thought she was taking it very well, everything considered.

[...] An hour later I called Andrew Fife in billing; he was out for 15 minutes, and would call back, a girl said. [...] When Andrew called I went to see him, showing him the two latest communications from Blue Cross, with the new claim numbers for Jane’s account; he copied them, and reiterated that the company was stalling: “It helps their cash flow, but it doesn’t do anything for ours.” [...]

(A monthly chart lay on Andrew’s desk, and I read it upside down. [...] Andrew didn’t discuss it with me. [...]

[...] A girl from Andrew Fife’s office called to tell me that Andrew had called one of the supervisors at Syracuse—Blue Cross—about our major medical claim. The man there said he’d pull our file, go over it all, and call Andrew back tomorrow. [...]

(Today when I called his office, I found out that Andrew Fife was on vacation until January 3, so I’ll see him then. The girl I spoke to knows our case, so I explained what I wanted to show Andrew. [...]

(I should add that at 2:30 I called to see if Andrew Fife was in his office at billing, since I wanted to show him the claim-denial reports I’d received from the insurance company the day before Christmas. [...]

For Richard the name Andrews (spelled) or Andrus is significant. [...]

(Checking his mail in California, Dick found a letter on White House stationery, written by Mr. Andrews. [...]

(Eleanor said Mr. Andrews is on the White House staff, and the letter is President Nixon’s way of inviting Dick to dinner with him.

[...] I gave him the names and phone number of Kathy Hagen, the Blue Cross supervisor who had seemingly turned down our major medical claim, and read to him the statement as to why that Andrew Fife had given me yesterday afternoon. [...]

[...] He’s already talked to Andrew Fife and Mary Krebs, and visited the head of the local Blue Cross office, on the floor beneath his own office. [...]

[...] I’ll be making copies of these to send to our lawyer, and will show the originals to Andrew Fife, in billing, so that he can make his own copies for our file. [...]

[...] Now tomorrow, I told her, I’ll show these latest letters to Andrew Fife in billing. [...]

[...] I made a quick trip to see Andrew Fife in billing about an insurance question. [...]

[...] and I didn’t hear from billing, or Andrew Fife, about any messages relayed to him from Syracuse. [...]

(She has talked with Andrew Fife, and so knows at least something of our situation. [...]
