Pretty sure you can call out and you don't have to give reason. Iirc most places won't even have you bring in a doctors note unless it's for an extensive period.
It depends on both the state and the company. A company can require valid reason for not working. Also, lying to your boss and being stupid enough to get caught can easily fall under "insubordination" which can be a termination in itself
At my job, they can require a doctor's note if you call out sick. Usually they don't, but they will if they think you are abusing the system (ex. You put in for a personal day and it gets denied, then you are magically too sick to come in that day).
