"NOS" is printed after topographic and morphologic terms that appear elsewhere in ICD-O with an additional modifying word or phrase. In the alphabetical index, "NOS" is listed, followed by the alphabetic listing of modifying words. Use the code for a term followed by "NOS" when:
In a few instances, "NOS" is also used to indicate that a particular term is used in a general sense.

If the diagnosis is adenocarcinoma, the correct code is M-8140/3 "adenocarcinoma, NOS."
If a diagnostic phrase such as " atypical adenocarcinoma" is used, the code is also M-8140/3 because the adjective (atypical) does not appear in the list of terms modifying "adenocarcinoma." Thus, "NOS" is printed in both the numerical lists and the alphabetic index to indicate to the coder and to the decoder that other modifiers of the term are listed elsewhere.
Within ICD-9-CM, you may select codes defined as “Not Otherwise Specified” (NOS) when there isn’t enough documentation to select a more specific code. In other words, a deficiency in documentation prevents you from coding to a higher level of specificity.#N#NOS codes are never favored, and claims submitted with such diagnoses may be rejected for lack of medical necessity and/or specificity. When possible, you may wish to ask the documenting provider for additional information and/or to append the record, so that a more precise diagnosis may be selected.#N#Codes defined as “Not Elsewhere Classifiable” (NEC) may be selected when specific information is documented for the diagnosis, but there isn’t an existing ICD-9-CM code to report it. In this case, the ICD-9-CM manual—not the documentation—lacks additional specificity.
