CPT® coding for surgery

A patient had out patient surgery on
Oct 30-2013 -58660: Laparoscopy w/ lysis of adhesions
And on Jan 14, 2014 had 58558:Hysteroscopy w/endometrial bx/polypectomy w/o D&C
procedure done in the office.
The insurance company is denying the 2nd procedure saying
it was done in the global. A different diagnosis was used.
Is their a modifer that should be used to get this claim paid?
