As an adjective, the singular is used. a ten-dollar bill, a twelve-foot plank, a 20-function calculator.*
As a noun, the plural is used (unless you are talking about only one thing, of course). ten dollars, twelve feet, 20 functions, one dollar, one foot, one function.

*These are also found without the hyphens: ten dollar bill, etc.

0 It's not really a deductible, but it ends up working in a similar way. It's the portion of the payment that the patient is responsible for paying, while the insurance picks up the rest. (You are paying for some, so I guess that's why it's a co-payment. Yes, short for co-payment, but almost universally referred to as a "co-pay.") 02 br
