Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 2.

We have verified this for n up to 10^8.

Example

a(6) = 2 since 6 = 1 + 5 = 2 + 4 with C(2*1, 1) + prime(5) = C(2*2, 2) + prime(4) = 13 prime.
a(9) = 1 since 9 = 2 + 7 with C(2*2, 2) + prime(7) = 6 + 17 = 23 prime.

Mathematica

a[n_]:=Sum[If[PrimeQ[Binomial[2k, k]+Prime[n-k]], 1, 0], {k, 1, (n-1)/2}]
