For what it's worth, I know of a method for defining confidence intervals for the difference between 2 Harrell C statistics, based on the jackknife, but I haven't had time to implement it in Stata. However, a quick and dirty solution might possibly be to use the jackknife using -jknife- in official Stata, together with Bill Gould's -stcstat- command (type -findit harrell c- to find out more).

I do discuss Harrell's C, along with Somers' D, ROC areas and their differences, in my Stata Journal article (Newson, 2002).

Sorry I couldn't be any more helpful.
