Pregnant and charged a ridiculous amount for PT

I am pregnant and I was hoping to get in with a pelvic floor therapist to get exercises before birth. My obgyn sent me a referral to a pt that didn’t do pelvic floor, but I figured I should get my back checked out. The first appointment was pretty long after my initial request and I told them my pain had significantly lessened after I had learned to tilt in my pelvic floor.

They told me I was covered for 20 sessions and there no indication that I would have to pay. I get a bill after having gone every week for almost two months for treatment that was over 1,000 and was told by insurance that there were more sessions not billed.

I would never have gone for more than the first session had I know it would cost so much, especially with only mild back pain which is common later in pregnancy. Any suggestions for recourse?

So wild that the sessions were $450, and only 30 minutes of very mild exercises. I had been thinking about canceling them based on time to drive there because they were not super helpful and I wasn’t in a lot of pain.

I am so frustrated and I welcome any suggestions!
