How long does an employer have to terminate you after a positive drug test?

Technically yes but it would be really stupid to do so. The reason you get suspended for a positive screen is to give you time to dry out. After three months it's more of a retaliatory move, and those are illegal.
On the other hand, he's perfectly within his rights to fire you after 3 months for failing a drug screen, if "drug test failure" is a termination offense at your company.

Is your employer allowed to bill your health insurance for their mandatory drug test?
Yes, they can. Under federal law, an employer can require you to pay for the mandatory drug test. As long as having the employee pay does not have the effect of discouraging minority job applicants or lowering the employee's wage below the federal minimum, the employer can charge you for the test. Billing your health insurance is a form of billing you, even if your health insurance is from your employer.
What can cause benzodiazepines to show up in urine other than the actual drug?
Do you mean a false positive? To my knowledge, its not possible to get a false positive if you have not taken the drug. If you get a positive result, it probably means that you took a benzodiazepine within the detection time (which can be a very long time, especially for long acting ones like diazepam and clonazepam)
