Mortgage Insurance early removal?

A friend bought a place with 5% down. A recent appraisal says the home is worth significantly more, so his remaining balance is below 20%. Is there an inexpensive way to get the PMI removed?

@Amanda G. How long ago did he buy it? 

Yes - call the servicer and ask them to cancel the PMI. Provide the appraisal. They may want to do their own though.
