Technical billing for Radiology

Date: Oct 15, 2018

Question:

Urology performs 74420 and a radiology tech is present. No separate report done by the radiologist. Because the CPT code requires personal supervision, can the radiology department bill the technical charge for 74420, or is nothing billable for Radiology?
