The above post referred to the Medicare program.
The time frame for the Medicaid program is more elongated compared to the federal program, but the attestation requirements are essentially the same.
I don’t think that there are any penalties in the Medicaid program. It is unclear how participation in the state programs affect Medicare reimbursements. I would surmise that successful attestation via Medicaid would also satisfy Medicare.
It is certain that non-participation in either program & in the absence of an exception will incur Medicare penalties.
