The length of time that doctor's offices need to keep records varies by state. 5 years is a common requirement.

Explanations of benefits (EOB's) are sent by the insurance companies to the patient, not to the doctor's office.

Can you keep a life insurance policy on your ex?

Yes, it can be covered in the divorce agreement, from what I have been told. Working in physician's offices, I've seen it on health insurance plans.

Different insurances might have different rules, so you should always check with your insurance company first before doing anything else.
