New Stupid tactic by the Texas Medicaid Insurance companies and their PBMs

Since the beginning of May 2018, I have started getting papers forms for a number of patients for preauthorization for routine generic medications like Gabapentin, quetiapine, cyclobenzaprine Etc.
They are from  PBMs both Caremark and Express Scripts.

These are mostly Medicaid patients who do not or can not buy these medications, although they are only 4 or 5 $ out of pocket.
What the insurance companies want to achieve by adding more unnecessary work for primary care physicians.

what is Texas Medical Board and the various Medical associations doing?
how can they6 allow nonmedical people running these corporations, to indirectly practice medicine without a medical license?
