Submit a Policy Cancellation

To learn more about this capability, click the Launch video button.

Before submitting a policy cancellation, print the cancellation, have the client sign it. Scan the signed document and attach it to the client account, and add the attachment and send it with the cancellation submission.

Note: This article contains printing instructions that are only applicable if Applied Epic is installed locally on your computer. If you access Epic through a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, you cannot print directly from within the system. See Printing for more information about the printing capabilities available from Epic Browser. All other steps in this article are applicable to both methods of accessing Epic unless stated otherwise.

Use the search bar to display policies that meet specific criteria. Apply a single filter (using the search fields) or multiple filters (using the Edit Filter button ) to narrow the list of policies.
Selecting multiple criteria performs an "and" search (for example, policies with a specific Type of Business and a specific Policy Effective date). Making multiple selections for the same criterion performs an "or" search for that criterion (for example, policies with either of two Types of Business). You can make up to eight selections for the Type of Business criterion and up to 10 for the Line Type criterion.
To clear the currently applied filter (for the current session only) and start over, click the Clear Filter link label. The search bar displays in blue when filters are applied and in gray when filters are cleared.
To save your currently applied filters as a default for the selected client or all clients, create Filter Defaults. Filter defaults are unavailable for the Marketed and Marketed (History) lists and for Policies lists opened from the Access menu (as Access > Policies already provides a filtered view).

Your filter defaults are unique to your user code and will not affect other users’ saved defaults.
