ICD9 Codes --- Nec vs Nos???

Posted by holymama on January 12, 2005, at 20:05:21

Is anyone familiar with this? I'm just curious to interpret the code my pdoc gave me on my billing information....it reads 296.89 which is manic depression NEC I believe. What the heck does NEC mean, and how is it different from NOS?

I think it just means Not Elsewhere Classified. It's meaning is similar to NOS.
