Failed to check health coverage box on 1040

I just e-filed my taxes by myself without the help of a tax person. All went well and Free Fillable Forms let me know the IRS accepted my e-file. After the fact I realized I failed to check the box that I had full year healthcare for my entire family. I just didn't see it on the form since it's a new provision for this tax filing year.

Do I need to file a 1040x to correct this? Thanks.

I do not think so; you can just contact the IRS for sure.
