modernLINKĀ® offers several convenient methods for policy and quote searching. You are able to retrieve only the policies or quotes you are authorized to see based upon your security profile. You can update a retrieved quote as long as its status is not Pending Issuance or Processed.
When you retrieve a saved quote, the system automatically rerates the quote to ensure that the latest rates are applied.
The Quick Action search on the home page provides the fastest search method if you know the policy number. Enter the quote number or the last ten digits of the policy number (remove company number prefix) and click the View button.
To search for policies or quotes:
On the modernLINK tabs, click Quotes and Policies.
The Policy/Quote Search page opens.
Follow the steps to perform a policy/quote number Quick Search or an Advanced Policy Search.
The Search page enables you to search for policies or quotes using the agent number, policy/quote number or other criteria. Use the number search to retrieve a specific policy/quote by its number. Use other criteria if you are uncertain of the number or wish to return a list of similar policies/quotes.
To perform a policy/quote number quick search:
On the Policy/Quote Search page, click the Quick Search tab, if not already selected.
Enter the quote number or the last ten characters of the policy number (remove company number prefix). Leading zeroes are added automatically to the policy number.
