How results are ordered
On MyClinicTrip there are two orders, both declared: the alphabetical order of the directory and the relevance order of search results. This page describes exactly how they work and what never counts.
List: Name (A–Z) · Search: Relevance (criteria below) · Optional: Name (A–Z)
In the directory the order is alphabetical
On the Facilities page, and in any search without a treatment or dates, facilities appear in alphabetical order by official name. The position in the directory does not constitute a recommendation, an assessment of quality or a judgement on the facility by MyClinicTrip.
After a search, relevance applies — with published criteria
When you search for a treatment or enter dates, results are ordered by relevance. It is a deterministic order, computed every time from the same criteria, in this sequence: 1) declared availability that is valid for your dates, respecting the minimum notice stated by the facility (first those who declared a period covering them, then those who declared flexible dates, then those who declared nothing or whose declaration has expired); 2) provenance of the searched treatment (declared by the facility or attested by a public registry, then inferred from the name or attested only as a category); 3) profile managed by the facility and completeness of the public information (website, phone, e-mail, address, languages, treatments, declared and valid prices and availability); 4) the facility's most recent valid declaration; 5) name, in alphabetical order. Next to each result you find the reasons for its position and the "Why this order" button. Google ratings are neither stored nor used for ordering: for linked facilities you find the link to the reviews on Google Maps.
Declarations carry a date and an expiry
Prices and availability declared by a facility always show the date of the declaration and its expiry date. A price stays valid for twelve months from the declaration, an availability for ninety days. Once a declaration expires, “not declared” is shown with the date of the last update: no expired information is presented as valid.
What never counts
No payment, plan, sponsorship, contract or commercial relationship influences the order of results or of the directory. If sponsored positions ever exist, they will be separated from the results, labelled “Sponsored” and described on this page before appearing.
The alphabetical order is always one click away
In any search you can switch to alphabetical order from the “Sort by” menu. It is not active by default after a search: it applies only on your explicit choice.
Scores come from third parties
MyClinicTrip does not produce its own scores and does not alter external ones. For facilities linked to a Google listing, manually or by an automatic check that considers the match certain, you find the link to the reviews on Google Maps: reviews are neither stored nor used for ordering, and they do not represent a medical assessment carried out by MyClinicTrip.
Facilities without declarations
Facilities without declared treatments or without declared availability are not hidden: they still appear in the directory, after those that have declared. They are excluded only if you activate an explicit filter (for example “Available on your dates” or “With a declared price”).
The order can change over time
Facility declarations are updated or expire, and the public registries consulted can change. The order of results can therefore vary over time, without this reflecting a change of judgement by MyClinicTrip.
