People with private health insurance could be in line for temporary reductions in their premiums during the coronavirus crisis.
The insurance sector is meeting with the government this week to discuss the measures.
It's after the government took control of private hospitals to deal with the pandemic.
Consumer journalist Siobhan Maguire says customers should see a change in their premiums soon.
"The insurance sector is meeting with Government this week to iron out details and find out what can be done.
"Over the weekend Laya Healthcare, Irish Life Health and VHI have carried statements on their websites stating that they will be looking at putting some kind of financial measures in place for those that do have private health insurance."
