You can still provide cover against ranged attacks, even while you are prone, correct?

Logically, no. RAW? I'd have to do some reading.

[edit]

Relevant text, as far as I can tell are these...

Cover said:
When you make a ranged attack against an enemy and other enemies are in the way, your target has cover. Your allies never grant cover to your enemies, and neither allies nor enemies give cover against melee, close, or area attacks.

Determining Cover for Ranged Attacks said:
... If none of those lines are blocked by a solid object or an enemy creature, the attacker has a clear shot. ...

Emphasis added.

I'd rule prone enemies do not block, and the attacker has a clear shot.

I'd likely grant cover to a prone creature that was hiding behind a prone creature however, depending on terrain, especially if the "cover" was larger.
