If your employer will not refer you to a medical provider, go to an Urgent Care or a hospital and make sure you communicate to medical staff that you were injured at work.

What Should I Do If My Employer Will Not Give Me a List of Medical Providers?
Unfortunately, many times employers do not give injured workers a list and/or send them for medical care immediately, therefore, you should seek medical care on your own as stated previously and consult a Workers’ Compensation Attorney to assist you as soon as possible. Attorneys can help you know your rights under workers’ compensation, as well as get you medical treatment and wage compensations in cases where you cannot work due to the injury allowing you to recover from your injury with peace in mind.
