At this point, since you already indicate that you filed your tax return, the only way to "fix" or "correct" that (minor) oversight would be to amend your tax return. In order to amend a tax return, one has to wait the several weeks necessary for the original tax return to be processed, and then a refund issued.
Not indicating on your tax return that you have health insurance (but presuming that you do), should not change your tax refund (or liability), unless the IRS mails you a letter, or a tax notice, indicating such an occurrence. Otherwise, if they simply process your original tax return normally, and issue you the tax refund that you are expecting, then that should be the end of the matter. In this case you would need to do nothing.
Therefore, the best advice for you at this time will be to do nothing more at present, be patient, and wait to see what happens at the IRS level. If you do receive a notice or letter in a few weeks, you can then respond to it appropriately, at that future time. If the IRS instead overlooks your tax return checkbox for having (not having) health insurance, then you should do nothing other than accept your refund.
