NOS is a coding term which stands for "Not Otherwise Specified". It should only be used when there is not a more specific code for the diagnosis.

I am not absolutely sure, but I think it means 'nothing by mouth' .

"Not Otherwise Specified." One of the most common uses is "PDDNOS"...Pervasive Developmental Disorder, not otherwise specified (or explained by any other disorder, disease, or injury).
