One of the advantages of having an insurance product such as a PPO is that you can self refer to a specialist of your choice. Also, remember that your primary care physician has general responsibility for coordinating and managing your routine care and as such will likely play a role in referring you to a qualified specialist. If your insurance is with a more restrictive type plan such as an HMO, then you will need to make sure that you follow the appropriate guidelines for specialist referrals.
