Well there is no alternative to this treatment if the gums are receding. You can try to contact your insurance provider for the breakup of the fees. But gum recession is an ongoing process and more or less an Irreversible process..... so the sooner you get the cleaning done, the better.

You can stick to the basics like gentle brushing three times a day with flossing and mouthwash. You can maintain your teeth until you can afford for the treatment.
