Complexity of data

I was reading this magazine - Healthcare Business Monthly Dec 2023.
I was wondering if this is accurate: 1 test and independent historian = moderate complexity of data?

I'm reading the note next to IH in parentheses. It sounds like you consider IH as a category 2, if it comes out independant or limited, however, you count as a category 1 for Moderate or high. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I see what you’re saying and the form is slightly misleading, because for moderate IH belongs under category 1 as an option to meet 3.
Below is from page 8 in the CPT book.

Moderate
(Must meet the requirements of at least 1 out of 3 categories)
Category 1: Tests, documents, or independent historian(s)
  • Any combination of 3 from the following:
  • Review of prior external note(s) from each unique source*
  • Review of the results) of each unique test*;
  • Ordering of each unique test*;
  • Assessment requiring an independent historian(s)
