Bariatric Testing

I have a psychologist that is doing pre-bariatric surgery testing on patients. How should this be coded. Three hours are required for the test.
 
I also have the same problem. However; we have billed 3 UOS of 96101 and the diagnosis is not covered, we used 278.01, what am I missing? BMI? Do I need a v-code. I also understand Morbid Obesity will not be paid as a primary diagnosis??
