Clinic Directory vs Orderly Provider Directory

Clinic Directory is a web directory for finding health clinics and specialized practitioners across Canada, and for routing referrals to selected or matched independent clinics. Users can search thousands of clinics and practitioners. Clinic listings can be compared by amenities, combined ratings, and direct billing options; practitioner filters include gender, languages, specialties, and acceptance of new patients. Clinic owners can claim a free profile to manage details and appear in local search. The directory aggregates publicly available clinic business information, including contact details, hours, and services. Clinic Directory says it is not a healthcare provider or health information custodian. It cannot provide medical advice, pass along clinical questions, or book, change, or cancel appointments. Its privacy policy describes handling personal information under PIPEDA and Alberta and British Columbia PIPA. The site says it uses encryption at rest, HTTPS, and separation between its public frontend and backend routing engine; intake personal identifiers are cleared after 30 days. Support is by email, with a stated aim to reply within one business day, but there is no phone line or overnight or weekend coverage. The free listing plan costs nothing; paid plans include Essentials at C$29 a month and Featured at C$99 a month.

Orderly Provider Directory combines real-time clinician and healthcare-entity data for organizations that need provider search and directory records. The directory lists 6.4 million clinician profiles across more than 500 specialties. Real-time search can be narrowed with Care Categories, Provider Tags, specialty filters, and insurance filters. Profiles may connect clinicians with the entities where they work and include NPI, contact details, specialties, credentials, affiliations, network status, sanctions, licenses, and Care Categories. Orderly says records draw from public sources, data partnerships, and customer insights, including attested data. Proprietary algorithms process and validate information, while field-level confidence scores weigh source quality, data age, and decay. Customers can use those scores through the API and online interface. Access is available through APIs, a web portal, or scheduled flat-file transfers in JSON, XLSX, or CSV. The service includes organization profiles and update timestamps with reason codes for CMS compliance. Orderly describes its solutions as serving payers, providers, and health technology companies. Pricing is available on request, with annual national, regional, clinician-group, or usage-based options.
