Some definitely do, no question about that. Though one's definition of a "kick-back" may differ.

I do not think that a doctor get's a check from a drug company just for writing scripts. But there are definitely other incentives.

Though when it comes to oxy's and other opiate pain relievers...

Those have been around a long time. And there aren't really any brand name opiates any longer. Plus they are really inexpensive for the legitimate purchaser.

When I think of incentives, it's more the case with the really expensive, newer brand name drugs out there.
