No. Insist on new parts. The insurer who is supposed to pay to fix your car is the insurer of the at-fault driver, not your insurer.

If the other party is at fault, your insurance company should NOT be involved. And no, an insurer cannot require after-market parts. Insist on new factory parts unless it is something where you are comfortable with the lesser parts (and if you do use them, insist on a very long warranty).
