Mawista or Vela?

Hello everyone,

I am a master's student in Germany and have been studying here for two years. I am currently insured with a private insurance company called "Vela." At the beginning of my studies, I opted out of public insurance to choose private insurance.

I have less than a year left to finish my degree and have a few concerns:

Insurance Contract Duration: I'm considering asking for a new insurance contract. Should I make it for one year or a shorter period?

Returning to Public Insurance: Will I be able to return to public insurance after finishing my degree?

Insurance Company Recommendation: Do you recommend continuing with Vela or switching to Mawista?

Thank you for your help!
