COMMENTS
This set is the image under the "reverse and add" operation (A056964) of the Luhn primes A061783 (which remain prime under that operation). Those have always an odd number of digits, and start with an even digit. Therefore this sequence has its terms in intervals [3,20]*100^k with k = 1, 2, 3.... - M. F. Hasler, Sep 26 2019

FORMULA
a(n) = A056964(A061783(n)). - M. F. Hasler, Sep 26 2019
EXAMPLE
383 is a term because it is prime and it is the sum of prime 241 and its reverse 142.

PROG
From M. F. Hasler, Sep 26 2019: (Start)
(PARI) is_A072385(p)={isprime(p)&&forprime(q=p\10, p*9\10, A056964(q)==p&&return(1))} \\ A056964(n)=n+fromdigits(Vecrev(digits(n))). It is much faster to produce the terms as shown below, rather than to "select" them from a range of primes.
A072385=Set(apply(A056964, A061783)) \\ with, e.g.: A061783=select(is_A061783(p)={isprime(A056964(p))&&isprime(p)}, primes(8713))
