I keep hearing this, but there is no mechanism I am aware of for a doctor to see a cent related to prescription of outpatient medication. What’s the purported mechanism by which docs were making money on this?

Purdue would give them kickbacks, vacations, etc. as part of their marketing outreach. It's not like the doctors made commission on every pill
If you keep hearing this, maybe take a look at all the despicable bullshit that Purdue have been caught in. If you like the video format, you can start with John Oliver's "Opiods" episodes.
