Default Hypothyroid CACI

Has anybody had recent experience with the CACI for hyperthyroid? If I'm reading the Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners right, Subclinical Hypothyroidism (<10 TSH, normal T4, asymptomatic, no medication) meets the definition of "No treatment required" and the medical can be issued. If TSH is >10 and/or T4 is abnormal and/or symptomatic and/or medication is required, the CACI applies and the applicant needs the "current, detailed Clinical Progress Note", but the medical can still be issued. It's only if TSH is uncontrolled that OKC needs to get involved.

Just wondering if that lines up with the experience of anyone who's had to deal with this? Here's the link to the FAA document I'm looking at:
