Why does this charge appear?

Blue Shield of California uses the shortened descriptor "BLUE SHIELD CA*" on bank statements because merchant billing systems, including those used by major payment processors, enforce strict character limits on transaction descriptors, typically capping them at 22 characters or fewer. Rather than truncate the full name in a way that might look unfamiliar or confusing, the company adopted "CA" as a standard abbreviation for California and uses an asterisk as a separator, a formatting convention common among large insurance billers to distinguish the company name from any additional reference information that may follow. If you see "BLUE SHIELD CA*" on your statement alongside a recurring monthly charge, it is almost certainly your Blue Shield of California health insurance premium being processed through their automated billing system.
