Unstable Angina and Other Acute Ischemic Heart Disease
Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model (PY2026 Medicare Advantage), HCC 229 carries a community non-dual aged RAF of 0.24, and 25 payable ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes map to it. In the V28 hierarchy it is superseded by HCC 228 when a more severe category in the same disease group is also present.
RAF factors
The community factor varies by Medicaid and originally-disabled status; the institutional factor applies to long-term-institutional members. These are the CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 relative factors.

Trumped by: HCC 228 (a more severe category in the same disease group supersedes this one).
