Referral: That depends on your insurance. Sometimes you can choose to see a specialist on your own. Sometimes you need a referral from your GP. Call your insurance company and ask.

Yes: Your main doc should be able to help based on available documentation and findings on exam. There are many types of allergy and a referral should be accompanied by supporting evidence.
