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 In the V28 hierarchy it is superseded by HCC 228 when a more severe category in the same disease group is also present.
