It is up to the supervisor to medically assess the airman's medical claim on the spot. They will apply supervisory medical cream to the airman if needed. A trip to the clinic is only allowed if the ailment is beyond the abilities of the supervisory medical cream.

Define denying access to medical care.
Do you mean deny going to sick call, or the emergency room? If so, probably not without the risk of negative consequences.
Or, do you mean requesting a medical appointment be rescheduled to meet a mission requirement? If so, probably not.

Report it up your chain of command, it is in fact not allowed to deny medical attention, under any circumstance. Only thing she can do is say that you're trying to go to medical to not do your duty, in that case you could be reprimanded, but that'd require medical to agree that you went there and were bsing off
