Federal prosecutors in Memphis say a San Jose company has agreed to pay the government $2.39 million to resolve allegations it paid kickbacks to physicians. Prosecutors said in a news release Monday that DFINE of San Jose tried to induce doctors to use certain company devices used in treating spinal fractures. Officials said physicians were paid up to $500 per patient to participate in a survey. The U.S. attorney’s office for West Tennessee was involved in the investigation.
