Best Answer

Not Elsewhere classified. - This designation is used to indicate there is no separate specific code available to represent the condition documented. In this case, the diagnostic statement is specific, but the coding system is not specific enough.

Different to NOS -Not Otherwise specified which indicates that the documentation does not provide enough information to assign a more specific code.
