Requires the Board to report annually to each Federal agency that dispenses or makes payments for the dispensing of prescription drugs on: (1) a list of prescription drugs sold at excessive prices; (2) recommendations against dispensing or making payments for such drugs; and (3) recommendations to substitute the drug with a similar prescription drug which is not sold at an excessive price.
