Yes, I think

%N A092789 a(n) = smallest prime of the form p(n) + m!, where p(n) is the n-th prime.
%O A092789 1,1

is correct. I wrote a quick-and-dirty MAGMA program (below) which 
confirms this.

S:=[]; for n in [1..80] do p:=NthPrime(n); for m in [0..100] do 
q:=p+Factorial(m); if IsPrime(q) then Append(~S, q); break; end if; end 
for; end for; S;
