Major Head Injury with Loss of Consciousness < 1 Hour or Unspecified
Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model (PY2026 Medicare Advantage), HCC 398 carries a community non-dual aged RAF of 0.199, and 57 payable ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes map to it. In the V28 hierarchy it is superseded by HCC 397 when a more severe category in the same disease group is also present.
