Just got a surprise $613 bill from my dentist

Technically, I did not get the bill from my dentist. My dental insurance plan sent it to me with an itemized list of what the dentist did at my annual check-up.

At no point did the dentist tell me I owed any money, nor did they do anything beyond a normal annual x-ray which I’ve had done there before for free. Matter of fact, my 3D x-rays were free last year and this was an itemized list for 2d imaging.

I was charged five times for “2d oral/facial photographic imaging” of which the insurance covered $0 and I was charged $121 each (one of them says $129). The code says D0350.

What can I expect? I would’ve never had this done if I knew it was going to cost anything. I am supposed to have my actual dental work done next week (which I have already paid for) and now I am concerned they are going to tell me I owe them $613.

Does this fall under the no surprise bill act?

TIA.
