If the intention is to exempt the doctor from a fee or part of it in exchange for referring patients to make purchases, then this is permissible in principle as a commission or brokerage fee, provided that it does not lead to a prohibited outcome, such as directing a patient to purchase a medicine that will not benefit him. Avoiding this is safer.
