This latter post confuses me. The code and the diagnosis inidicate do
not indicate NOS:
"296.6 Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Mixed, Unspecified "
Unspecified merely seems to indicate lack of determination of degree of severity of latest episode,
not that it is NOS. Those listed as NOS are specifically designated as such. (See 296.8 and 296.9.)

At any rate, as Merlin points out, it's only a label. More than that, it's only an order for lithium levels, which has nothing to do with specific diagnosis (even
if that not accurate). You're are taking lithium and they just need to do the test.
