Doctors Julie Taguchi and Madan Mohan face a maximum of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
They are expected to testify against Arrayit founder Mark Schena.
Prosecutors say the company’s coronavirus antibody test often gave false results, and that Arrayit bundled the COVID-19 test with extensive allergy tests for which they could bill Medi-Cal at a much higher rate.
Both Taguchi and Mohan admitted they allowed Arrayit to use their medical licenses, to submit Medi-Cal reimbursements for patients they had never seen.
