NEC = ICD-10 doesn't have more detail.
NOS = provider didn't give more detail.

Can this be if medical history has been lost since childhood when medical notes were on paper?

[@ContempoCoding]

This is based soley on what the provider does and does not document on the date of the visit, prior medical records being lost isn't a direct correlation to using a not specified or not elsewhere classified code.
