Lasik Surgery preformed outside of the United States, is it still able to be reimbursed under the Section 125 Cafeteria Plan?

Lasik surgery is a reimbursable pre-tax expense under the Section 125 Cafeteria Plan; however, if the surgery is preformed outside of the United State, in another country, is it still a reimbursable expense?

If performed by a licensed practitioner and proper documentation is provided with the claim, I can see no reason for it not to be eligible. For some procedures, which are illegal in the US, this would not be true.
