Less restrictive than that; You only need to have had an FAA medical after 2006:

What do I need to do to fly under BasicMed?

1. Comply with the general BasicMed requirements (possess a U.S. driver's license, have held a medical after July 14, 2006).
2. Get a physical exam with a state-licensed physician, using the Comprehensive Medical Examination Checklist
3. Complete a BasicMed medical education course;
4. Go fly!
