Your right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges as a self-pay patient. Last updated October 8, 2026.
Under federal law, healthcare providers must give patients who don't have insurance, or who are not using their insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for services when scheduling care or when requested. This is called a Good Faith Estimate, and you have the right to receive one before your visit.
If you are self-pay, you can request a Good Faith Estimate at the time you schedule your visit, or at any time before your visit, by contacting us at appointment@tonieshealth.com or (415) 373-6466. General self-pay rates are also listed on our Pricing page.
If you receive a bill that is substantially higher than your Good Faith Estimate (generally $400 or more above the estimate), you may be able to dispute the bill. For more information about your rights and the dispute process, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
A Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not include unknown or unforeseeable costs that may arise during your visit. Your final price is based on what is actually discussed and addressed during your appointment, as explained on our Pricing page.
