What border crossings have a Medical Fast Track lane?
If you are heading to the border from the scenic toll road (aka: Internacional), once you are near the border go to "Calle Segunda", you will take the far right lane that is sectioned off by concrete dividers and parallels the regular border lanes. Look for the blue signs that say "With Pass Only" and the blue signs that say "Medical Services." After going up the bridge, you will see a booth with an official who will receive your Medical Fast Track Pass and give you access to the special lane.

Will there be more Medical Fast Track lanes in the future?
Currently the Medical Fast Track Pass program is a pilot program. If the lane is a continuous success, more lanes are expected to be added.

Is the Medical Fast Track lane like the SENTRI lane?
It is similar to the SENTRI in that you can cross the border faster, however there is no background check and the pass is only good for one crossing.
