Explanation
BCBSA is indeed the correct abbreviation for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, a national federation of 35 independent, community-based health insurance companies operating across the United States. The acronym directly maps to the organization's full name: B for Blue, C for Cross, B for Blue, S for Shield, and A for Association. Option B is wrong because FALSE would imply the acronym stands for something else or does not exist, which contradicts the well-established name of this major healthcare organization.
Memory tip: Break the acronym into two parts - "BCB" for Blue Cross Blue (think of the color blue appearing twice, paired with a cross) and "SA" for Shield Association. Connecting the visual image of a blue cross and a blue shield to the letters can help lock in the full name.
