You can obtain your Excelsior Pass by signing up online or downloading the Excelsior Pass Wallet app. If you do so, be sure to provide your name exactly as it appears in your patient record. The pass can be printed out or displayed on your smartphone and is available in multiple languages. Learn more about the Excelsior Pass on the New York State website.
