When you initially report your injury to your employer, they will tell you where to go for treatment. If they don't give you a specific doctor or urgent care center, you are free to choose your own care facility. However, once the insurance company accepts you claim then they can and will direct your care as Geneva states above.

However, if they deny your claim, then you are free to choose your own doctor. However, you should seek legal counsel to represent you at a hearing to request payment for your medical expenses.
