Couples with infertility issues will be able to access one round of IVF completely free of charge from September.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly will get cabinet backing for the measure today.
It'll see one IVF cycle provided for couples who've had no more than one privately-funded round already.
Up to three cycles of IUI, Intrauterine Insemination Treatment, may also be covered.
However there will be a criteria set, including having a known clinical cause of infertility, maximum age limits, body mass index requirements and consideration of the number of children the couple already has.
