These are the only two categories for which examples are not provided in the MDM table. We have Dermatology providers who regularly choose 99203/99213 for benign skin exams. The MDM notes regularly look like this:

Findings: benign nevi, solar lentigines, cherries
- sun protection/avoidance
- periodic self-exams
- MD exams every 1 year


Is this sufficient enough to support a Level 3 (low risk)?

I am struggling to think of this as anything but a Level 2 due to the minimal risk it poses to the patient. Any feedback and opinions would be much appreciated.
