Dr. Kanvinde allegedly ordered unnecessary genetic tests and durable medical equipment from Dec. 2016 to June 2019, the department said. He allegedly received kickbacks in exchange for the orders for tests and equipment and knew they weren’t medically necessary.

Dr. Kanvinde will make additional payments determined by his income over the next five years, the department said.
