That depends on what the outcome of interest is. If you want the
unconditional outcome, for example people get 0 cost when they don't
seek medical help and some positive cost when they do, then you need to
include both parts of your model. However, as I understood your original
question, you wanted the cost conditional on seeking medical help.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
