Legal Question in Personal Injury in Louisiana

My settlement from an automobile accident is $11,000 If my ERmed bills and attorney fees are deducted I will have $1,500. Do I have the right to negotiate installment payment plans with the ER and ambulance service instead of my attorney paying those bills outright. Do I have the option to instruct my attorney NOT TO PAY those bills out of my settlement.
