Materials and Methods: Using cost-income information of 38252 Iranian households collected by the Statistical Center of Iran in 2015, the distribution of health expenditures of households based on the income approach is calculated and factors influencing the concentration index are measured. Results: The results showed that the concentration index of health care expenditures in Iran was 0.3318. This is indicative of the progressive status of household participation in financing the health system. Also, dental expenditures with the index of 0.496 have the highest inequality in the distribution of health care expenditures. Payment for hospital services and dental care services had the highest share in increasing the coefficient index. Conclusion: Having insurance coverage as one of the most important policy tools to achieve the desired model of household financial participation has a significant effect on the distribution of financial participation of households and the most important factor in reducing the coefficient of concentration index
