The data were analyzed using STATA V.12.Results: The findings indicated a positive significant relationship between per capita income, number of physicians per 10000 populations and urbanization degree and household HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES, the quantity elasticity of which were 0.22, 9.09 and 0.47, respectively. There was no significant relationship between literacy rate and the proportion of population over 65 years with HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES.Conclusion: Income elasticity of health care expenditure was less than 1; indicating the health care as a necessary good across provinces of IRAN.
