The purpose of this study is to empirically identify the relationship between Catastrophic health expenditure and Unmet medical need. logistic regression analysis was conducted using the 6th and 7th data of Korea health Panel to find out whether the previous year`s experience of catastrophic health expenditure effects on the next year`s unmet health care need due to economic reasons. In addition, we examined how the experience of catastrophic health expenditure affects to unmet need for medical care differently according to the period of catastrophic health expenditure. As a result of the analysis, the household members who experienced catastrophic health expenditure for overtime in 2011 had a statistically significant higher probability of experiencing unmet medical need. In second analysis, `Escape` and `Recurrence` was statistically significant higher than `Never occured`. However, it was not statistically significant when catastrophic health expenditure was newly incurred in 2012. This suggests that the Independent variable affects to dependent variable through time differences. This study is meaningful because it analyze the relationship between the two variables which were not easy to be identified.
